[AirPo]

Oh look, new evidence.

#Failing and #FAKE NEWS Congressional investigators attack TRUMP because they lost in November. SAD!

the cnn article also says this:

"Intelligence experts say the request made by the unidentified West Virginian fits a pattern of Russians trying to gather human intelligence and seek unwilling -- and sometimes unwitting partners -- as part of their covert operations."

so there is really nothing here

the article itself basically claims nothing happened and the Russians do this stuff all the time

First rule of modern media: skip to the halfway point and see if the piece contradicts the headline.

The Russians do this all the time so nothing happened, brilliant logic there. Ignore that man behind the curtain.

doesn't it say
"Top Trump aide's email draws new scrutiny in Russia inquiry"?

So... didn't the email draw new Scrutiny in the Russia Inquiry?

Oh look, new evidence.

But remember, no matter how much new evidence turns up there's been no evidence of any wrongdoing and the investigation is collapsing. It's all a giant conspiracy theory by the left.

i'm just quoting cnn - the russians do this all the time AND nothing happened in this case

can't ignore the man behind the curtain - he's always up to no good - and he always will be - thus the sanctions against him continue - with no reprieve in sight

Oh in this case? Nice goal shifting. For the record, this case isn't over yet. Why is that so hard for some to understand?

That's the point. Trump is a con man. And we always call him out on that. It's our civic duty as Americans.

The bit you quoted doesn't say that. What the article actually says is "It's unclear who the individual is, what he or she was seeking, or whether Dearborn even acted on the request."

Doing something polite, like posting the actual headline of the article linked to, doesn't mean anything to the far wing right.

i don't see any evidence of that

only a whole bunch of emotionalism from people who are supposed to be "reporting facts"

people aren't listening anymore because it is too over the top

why are "reporters" getting so emotional?

why are there no facts - only comments?

people have to go elsewhere to get the facts

it sounds all so desperate

what's the desperation about

it seems like "reporters" need to use emotionalism because there are no hard cold facts

that's where we have to examine the words

draws scrutiny - what's that? - it's not an investigation

if it was an investigation they would say so

so obviously there is not enough there to create an official investigation

that's the kind of stuff that caused me to look else where for what is really going on

honestly it sounds like the media and the political elite are scared out of their minds that an non-conforming non-politician has vowed to drain the swamp

everyone who voted for Trump wants the swamp drained

i'm still investigating but that is how it appears to me

God Bless you my friend

I feel your pain on this -

I have been saying this for more than a year about the Clinton investigations. Bring them up and people just move the goal posts. They don't seem to understand that Comey never closed the investigations.

I'm with you, very empathetic!

i saw some news feed on that too

the d's were grilling someone regarding the russian investigation

when the r's started grilling the d's on their involvement prior to trump they all en mass rose from their seats and left the room

i was wondering what that was about

they can ask questions but not answer?

 

[Truthfrees]

The bit you quoted doesn't say that. What the article actually says is "It's unclear who the individual is, what he or she was seeking, or whether Dearborn even acted on the request."

yes it also says that

but there is no investigation - that was the point i was focusing on

there's a whole lot of maybes - no for sures - and it results in no investigation

i guess for me that is the bottom line

even when the maybes are weak they call an investigation

so these maybes must be really weak

 

[essentialsaltes]

Then you are mistaken. The article begins, "Congressional investigators have unearthed an email..."

There is a congressional investigation. What there isn't is any conclusions... because you have to wait for the end of an investigation for that.

If you see a far right wing do that, lemme know.

Where there's smoke, there's fire is gradually becoming "Fire!"

And Trump's congressional enablers are slowly dwindling.
